What Mr.. Cleveland Meant.

A reader wants to know what President
Cleveland meant in the following portion
Of his speech ut Montgomery, Ala, last
week
"We know that you still have the prob
lens to solve enveloping considerations
concerning you alone, questions beyond
reach OF Federal law or interference, and
with which no one but you should deal"
1t is very plain what the Democratic
President meant. He meant that he in
dorses the Southern or Confederate method
of DISTINGUISHING the blacks, of killing
them when they attempt to vote, of i'm
prsoning them upon trumped-up pretexts
and selling their labor TO the highest bid
ders, of using violence and fraud to disfran-
chise the majority, and of carrying every
thing in their own State without regard to
law, humanity, or decency. He meant that
he wished them to understand that they
could go ahead in this way without any in
reference from him as President, and with
him protecting them as President from any
sort of outside interference. This is what
the Democratic President meant and it
was very shameless in him to say it, and
yet as he gained the Presidency by reason
of such violence and fraud he could say
nothing less. The only wonder is that he
did not have the prudence TO say it pri-
vately instead of in the public manner that
he did. For him thus publicly to indorse
the Southern methods of violence and
fraud and to select the former seat of the
Confederacy as the place to do so, are very
significant facts. 1t was fair notice to the
Democrats of the South that the Demo-
Gratis of the North will stand by them what
ever they may do.-Des Moines Register.

Where Diamonds Are Polished.

One of the great industries of Am
sterdam is the cutting and polishing of
diamonds; and nearly all the finest
diamonds in the world are brought here
to be cut into shape. We will make a
visit to one of the principal diamond
establishments, and when we get there
/ think we shall be surprised to find
great factory, four or five stories high,
steam-engine in the basement, and
fy-wheels, and leathern bands, and all
sorts of whirring machinery in the diff
ferent stories. On the very top floor
the diamonds are finished and polished,
and here we see skillful workmen sit
ting before rapidly revolving disks of
steel, against which the diamonds are
pressed and polished. 1t requires great
skill, time, and patience before one of
these valuable gems is got into that
shape in which it will best shine, spar
kle, and show its purity. Nearly half
the diamonds produced in the world,
the best of which come from Brazil,
are sent to this factory to be cut and
polished. Here the great Koh-i-noor
was cut; and we are shown models of
that and of other famous diamonds that
were cut in these rooms.-Frdnk X.

Monumental Gall.

With brazen assurance, the Boston Globe
says
"The Democratic party is the most thor
oughly national political organization that
has ever existed in this country. 1t -four
ishes in every State, and in no State is the
percentage of majority against it large
one. On tue other hand, in many States
the Republican party is practically extinct.
In a whole section of the Union il consists
in the main of a mass of voters whom, il
white skinned and living in Massachusetts,
men like Senator Hoar would certainly insist
upon DISTINGUISHING. Yet, even with this
body of easily led voters, additionally at
tached to it, the Republican party in the
South can scarcely be said To exist"
What determines tho nationality or sec
tionalism of a party? Does the question
turn on the doctrines and practices of the
organization, or on its success in multiplying
the Constitution, violating the laws, and
usurping power by violence and fraud?
Plainly, the Boston Globe holds to the lat
ter opinion. Hence it's claim that the State
sovereignty organization which still clings
to the dogmas of Calhoun and jeff Davis
Is national party because 1t has succeeded
in usurping power through organized politi-
cal crime and now governs the nation in
the interest of q minority section. Ii ma
tionality is embodied in the idea of stamp
ing out equal rights and making the vote
of an ex-Confederate equal in political
power to the votes of two or three North
ern men, and so giving the rule of the ma
ton into the hands of sectional minority,
then the DemocSatic party may have some
claim to a national" title. That organiza-
ton is national only in it's appetite for
national spoils. Its supreme ambition is
to usurp control of the Southern States
and, with the aid of the vote of New York
City, corner the Presidency and pension
State sovereignty bigots and ex-rebels on
the National Treasury in pursuance of
usurped minority rule.-Chicago Tribune.

as much for his clean and honorable con-
duct toward his brother professionals as
for the rapidity and accuracy with which
he diagnosed all cases brought before him.
His profound, rapid judgment was consid-
cred something wonderful, and all who
knew him remember him best for that.
He was regarded by many OF the leading
surgeons as the best man in the profession
to call in for consultation, and his clear,
quick Judgment was always invaluable on
such occasions.
DR.. Gum was never in greater glee than
when, surrounded by his students, he was
at work upon patient, and he always had
q joke which aided in fixing what was diff
cult of remembrance in his students
memories. His droll stories were as ia
miliar to the rising medical profession as
household words" His most technical
lectures fairly dubbed over with wit and
originality, and il was contrary to his very
nature ever to become tedious. Whenever
his familiar "that reminds me of some
thing" was spoken his class knew at once
that some rich fun was in store.
DR.. Gum had been in Chicago twenty
years, practicing nothing but surgery, at
which he was a recognized authority. All
this time he had held the chair of surgery
at Rush Medical College. The graduates
from that institution can testify to his SUI
periority as an instructor.
DIR. Gum was born in Ontario County,
n. Y, in 1892. He was beardless youth
when he graduated from the old college at
Geneva, n. Y, in 1916. But he was an
ambitious youth and determined to migrate.
He landed at Ann Arbor, Mich, a few
days later, the possessor of an innocent
looking pair Of trunks. In one were his
few books and clothing, while the other
contained the body of o colored man which
he intended to dissect before the eyes of
the Western doctors. He soon gathered
quite a class about him. Ann Arbor Uni
versity had no medical college at that time,
but the labors of DR.. Gum opened the
eyes of the faculty, and department was
soon established, with DR.. Gum in the
chair. The class of work was limited, and
after the war he came to Chicago and rap
idly advanced to the front of the profess
sion here.

The AnOtheOSiS of Treason.

Why should not the old rebel battle
flags, symbols of instruction, be brought
forth, when, with the approval of Presi-
dent Cleveland it has been proposed to
return the captured rebel flags to rebels?
We ask President Cleveland himself to ex-
plain what means the cry, Long live our
President" that greeted Jefferson Davis at
Macon, Gar Are there then two Presi-
dents in this country, and is the allegiance
of our people divided? Let no Democratic
paper again speak OF the "bloody Shirt"

GnaWing n File,

Senator ingalls, felicitously describes the
present political employment of the Demo-
cratic party as that of a gnawlng file, said
file being the Cleveland alternative. He
rightly defines the situation when he de.
clares that that party has no man available
TO put against Cleveland in convention,
and runs little risk of turning out false
prophet when he says the Democratic Con-
vention will nominate Cleveland by ac-
clamation as its candidate in 1888. The
recent Presidential tour, if conducted for
the purpose of Frightening the prospects
of the Democracy, has hardly resulted in
revolutionizing popular sentiment. 1t en-
abled the people to see for themselves
that, while a bluff, rotund, good-natured
man, President Cleveland does not offer
personal refutation of ingalls, rather
scathing charge that he is the low water
mark of the Presidential commonplace.
Those who came Immediately into con-
tact with him were willing enough to adj
NIT that the President lis very fair sort of
everyday man" but no one was impressed
by his mental force or breadth, or by any
obvious inherent or acquired qualities that
seemed to fit him for the exalted Office to
which luck raised him. No great amount
of discernment is necessary to discover in
public sentiment an uneasy discomfort
with the existing order of things, and a
general eagerness to re- establish the dig
nifty of high official trust. No part of the
people is SO thoroughly dissatisfied as the
Democratic party. The leaders of that po-
litical body have been disgruntled for three
years, and have chafed under the hard
conditions to which they rather blindly
subjected themselves. They view with
disgust the mistakes and errors of on adj
ministration that in the very nature of
things was incapable of conducting gov
eminent satisfactorily upon the popularity
approved basis established by the People
party. The Democracy is in the situation
OF foreign mercenaries hired to put down q
revolution of the people; they will fight
with sort OF bulldog pugnacity, but with
out heart or enthusiasm, for the retention
in Office Of Grover Cleveland. But, as Sem
ator IngaRs says and others perceive, if the
Republicans are beaten it will be their own
fault. They will not be beaten il the con-
vention acts wisely.
The battle will be fought in convention
this time, and If the will of the people can
there outweigh the schemes Of selfish pol
iticians, the Republican party will achieve
n victory ut the polls as great and rs sig
nifcant as that of 1860 by which il came
gloriously into power. After that event

Let DakOta Come In.

Apart from all considerations of party,
IL is desirable that Dakota should be adj
mitted either as one State or two; and the
Democrats may as we'll reflect that their
chance of carrying one of the proposed
States in the coming Presidential election
is better than of carrying the whole State,
if it should come in without division. The
question cannot fail to be brought before
Congress early, and should be decided on
its general merits, without exclusive re-
gard to politics. Republican.

FARMERS PRAY FOR RAIN.
A Burning Drought in Portions OF
Illinois.


A special from Cambridge, ILL., July /, to
the New York Sun, says that for ten days
the fences along the country roads and the
dead walls of this village have been plas-
tered with big red bills calling for public
prayers for rain. One of these meetings
was held in the Congregational church on
Tuesday last. 1t was nearly noon before
the last farmer tied his horse in the shed
back of the church and joined the suppl
Giants. Nearly all the business houses in the
city were closed The hot sun strained
through the open windows and made the
room uncomfortable After short address,
in which the Rev. DIR. Eldridge spoke of
the object of the meeting, the horny handed
and tanned men fell upon their knees while
the pastor offered up most pitiful prayer.
During the supplication, which lasted
fully half an hour, there was a constant
fusillade of "Amens' and "Glory to Cod
from the kneeling farmers. The scene was
unlike anything ever seen here before. The
farms and homes of many gray-haired men
depended on the speedy answering of this
prayer. When the sun went down on Tues
day night not cloud obscured the sky, and
when the morning came the air was
as sitting and lifeleSs as it had
been at any time during the
drought A prayer meeting was held
on the farm of Jules Lippencott last night
Farmers came from miles around, and when
all was ready men and women fell upon
their knees aud, lifting their faces to the
stars, implored God TO send rain. The meet
ing lasted until midnight. At that hour II
bank of rain clouds crept slowly out of the
southwest and soon spread over the entire
western horizon. The prospect of deliver
ance from the drought drove many of the
men delirious with joy, and the meeting
broke up with a dance and prayer Of
thanksgiving
Rain did not come, however, and the at
moSphere tonight is suffocating Fires are
burning in the woods, and pastures for
miles around are scorched. The farmers
have lost many cattle in these fires. The
drinking water in many towns has been
polluted, and the dry beds of the creeks are
covered with decaying fish. The effect of
the drought in Mclean county is rather
strange. In former years, when rain fell
copiously during April and May, rattle
snakes were seldom found. This year, how
ever, the meadows and quqrrics are swarm
ing with the reptiles. While cutting grain
the other day three immense rattlesnakes
became entwined in the wheels of a reaper,
and one was hurled into the lap Of farmer.
The latter dispatched the reptile with a
milestone, and continued his work. Chinch
bugs and all the pests of the garden are
more numerous than ever before

OVER IN CHARLESTON.
What is Going On in South Cardinals
MetropOlis.

The Sumter Guards held meeting Satur-
day, at which the invitation to take part in
the State military encampment at Spartan
burg, next month, was discussed, but no
definite conclusion was reached.
At a meeting of the Charleston Light
Dragons Saturday. arrangements were per-
fected for the trip to Button. The com
pany will send down squad to tilt with the
Beaufort District Troop on Thursday next.
The impertinent letter of Samuel Legrand,
which recently resulted in his discharge as
letter carrier, has been published in the
Charleston Recorder Mr.. W. z. McGarey,
who had been appointed superintendent of
the letter carriers by Postmaster Mowry,
sent Legrand a letter on June II, saying:
Might Mailing Clerk George H. Dantzman
reports you to postmaster as beng one-half
hour late in bringing in your morning col
lection Sunday, June IL This being your
first offense | will overlook it, A repetition
of the same will be a dismissal, excepting
sickness, accompanied by a doctors certif
cate in good standing, be furnished"
In reply to Mr.. McGareys warning
pleased to inform you that
recognize but one postmaster and chief
clerk, who will be held strictly responsible
for proper execution of all work in this Of
fee. Secrons3 and II: "All matter of re-
port should be made to the chief clerk and
referred to the Postmaster, whose official
duty and sense demands me to his office for
repriniand and not yours 1t is understood
that your appointment by Mr.. A. Fl. Mowry
as superintendent over the carriers is a new
one, in order to assist yourself and others to
leave the office at 7:30. | am thoroughly
acquainted with the regulations of the de-
partment, and do not wish to hear anything
more from you"
Postmaster Mowry then took a hand in
the affair, and on June 16 informed Legrand
that he was discharged for INSTRUMENTATION.
